[QUOTE="agee, post: 370753"] I am not a doctor or a health care provider, but I have read extensively about diet, nutrition, and know a little about cholesterol and suggest you read Good Calories, Bad Calories, by Gary Taubes, as well as The Cholesterol Myth. Basically - cholesterol numbers are fairly useless in predicting heart or overall health, and cholesterol medications do more harm than good in people who haven't had heart trouble, particularly in women. Triglycerides are a much more significant number, as is blood sugar level and insulin response. Also an oversimplification, but if you read the books - particularly the first one (or Google Gary Taubes and you'll find plenty that he's written on the net) you will understand what I'm talking about. good luck - A p.s. I'm d deficient, too, as well as B12 deficient and I take supplements for those things. Dr. is unsure as to why I'm deficient in both of those since I'm in the sun frequently and eat meat and eggs. But my cholesterol is "perfect" per doctors' recommendations - better yet, my triglycerides are very low. I eat primarily lowcarb. [/QUOTE]
